The purpose of the Final Project is to use many of the tools we have explored during the course to design and develop a major project that incorporates a variety of multimedia such as graphics, animation, voice, music, photographs, and motion video. For your project, you may choose one of the following: a. Public Service Announcement (PSA)
b. Training or Instructional Module (IM)
c. Other practical use of multimedia
We will follow specific design and development steps, including creating an Outline, a Flowchart and a Storyboard. (See Design Phase Instructions!) Note this project is due in stages and that there are several due dates for each aspect of the design and development. You will post all parts of your project on an external wiki site or on your own web site.
** Your project will include a variety of multimedia elements, including selections from some or all of the following: Graphic image, animation, audio file, video clip.
Your project will be well-organized and convey a message that is appropriate for your audience. It will use good instructional design and have solid educational value.
Your project will contain accurate information, will adhere to copyright laws, and will contain citations and resources, as appropriate.
